ATLANTA -- Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy wanted to remind everyone after his team's 3-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Friday night that Jacob Misiorowski is indeed human.
"He was great," Murphy said of the 24-year-old ace. "He was dominant, fantastic. You know, you're going to give up runs. You're a human. Go back and look at some of the greats. They all gave up runs. We're kind of shocked when he gives up a run."
Misiorowski (8-3) went six innings and gave up two runs on five hits while striking out seven, but was pulled with the Brewers trailing 2-1. He hit 104.2 mph with his fastball and threw 54 pitches of at least 100 mph, according to Statcast, including a record 47 of 101 mph or higher since tracking started in 2008. The previous high for 101 mph or more was 45 by Misiorowski on June 6 at Colorado.
